Thing Number Seventy-Five

The seventy-fifth thing I love about us, because you left it out of your thing post yesterday, is when we're together under a blanket watching TV and the one arm that's out to hold the popcorn bowl is mine, and you're completely snuggled in so that I get to feed you one piece of popcorn at a time.

Seventy-Four Things So Far!

The seventy-fourth thing I love about us is staying up late watching TV under a blanket together.

(Except with an arm out to hold the popcorn!)

Thing Number Seventy-Three

The seventy-third thing I love about us is sharing secrets.

You know which ones I mean.

Seventy-Two Skadoo!

The seventy-second thing I love about us is, you never complain about me crunching my popcorn too loud when we're watching tv or a movie. Sash is so bad about that! But you never do, and I'm pretty sure it's an us thing, because if somebody else crunched it so loud, I think maybe at least sometimes you'd fuss at them.

Thing Number Seventy-one

The seventy-first thing I love about us is how delightful I'm finding it commenting on your entries here and reading your comments on mine.

This, my lovely dear, was a wonderful idea.

That Seventy Thing!

The seventieth thing I love about us is when we talk (nicely!) about our yams behind their backs. Sometimes when you love someone, you'd better tell them right to their faces how much you appreciate the nice things about them. But other times it's really great to say, "You know what I love about Sash? She's always ____!" and have someone back you up on it or else say, "Hmm! I never noticed that, but you're right!"

It lets me double up on saying nice things about people without getting boring always telling them everything.

And before you ask, of course I talk about you behind your back!

I totally can't shut up about how awesome you are.

Thing Number Sixty-Nine

I'm sure you've been waiting for this one.

The sixty-ninth thing I love about us is that we persist in paired beauty no matter what angle life might place us at.

Sixty-eight!

The sixty-eighth thing I love about us is, being under slinky sheets!

I don't mean sheets made of those slinky toys, that would not be comfortable at all. I mean like, silky smooth sexy sheets.

Figured I'd better make sure that was clear!

Thing Number Sixty-Seven

The sixty-seventh thing I love about us is walking through a bright spring morning after a spring night's rain, when the whole world has a glow nearly as golden as yours.

It's a Fireball! 6d6! (Get it?)

The sixty-sixth thing I love about us is that I can make you laugh with doofy jokes and then that makes me laugh too.

Thing Number Sixty-Five

The sixty-fifth thing I love about us is watching for shooting stars by the light of the full moon. It's a terrible time for spotting shooting stars, especially here in the suburbs. But in the best kind of dark for stargazing, I couldn't so easily look over and see your earnest profile tipped skyward in the gentle celestial light.
